Homemade Milk bun is a soft and fluffy recipe which is very fun to make at home. This milk buns are very similar to the one which we buy at our local bakeries. I have made a sweet version of it (sweet milk bun), you can reduce the amount of sugar and use it as a side for pav bhaji masala.

Cooking Method

Activating yeast is a very important step in making bread. Add Sugar to luke warm milk (105 F - 110 F), (42 - 43 C ) then add yeast to it and mix it well and let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes.

Once the yeast is activated lets prepare the dough.

Step 2) Preparing the dough:

In a mixing bowl combine Maida, salt , butter (softened at room temperature) , yeast milk mixture, and Egg. Mix well to form a soft and a sticky dough. This dough will be very sticky compared to other dough preparation. If you are vegetarian the use 1 tbsp butter and 2 - 3 tbsp of milk instead of 1 egg.

Once well mixed transfer the dough to work surface and knead for minimum 10 - 12 minutes. Stretch the dough and knead well with 2 hands.

Step 3) First Proofing:

Once after kneading transfer the dough to a greased bowl , also apply few drops of oil on the top to prevent drying. Keep it undisturbed for 1.30 to 2 hours or until the dough doubles in size. Now after 1.30 hours (in my case 1.30 hours ) transfer the dough to work area and divide it into 9 equal portions. Spread the ball into sheet and roll it to form a smooth ball.

Step 4) Second Proofing:

Keep in in a greased bread pan and cover it . Again proof for another 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 5) Baking:
Now preheat the oven to 350 F / 175 C and bake it for 20 -25 minutes or until the outer layer become dark (golden brown) .It took exactly 22 minutes for me.
Once baked apply some melted butter on top and let it cool for sometime before taking it out of the pan.

Step 6) Baking in Cooker:
Preheat the cooker with a layer of salt and a wire stand to elevate the pan from touching to the salt for 15 heat on medium heat . Place the pan and immediately close the lid and bake for 18 -22 minutes on medium heat. It took exactly 20 minutes for me.
Once baked apply some melted butter on top and let it cool for sometime before taking it out of the pan.

That's it our delicious homemade milk buns are ready to be enjoyed. Please do try this recipe at home and share it with your friends and family members.
